Everyone Wants This Guy As Their Teacher After Seeing His Weekend Assignment

Remember being a kid and having insane amounts of homework every weekend that you basically ignored until Sunday night, when you would completely meltdown? It's called the learning process, and it's great.

Just kidding! Homework is horrible, and I barely ever retained anything from it, personally. Apparently some teachers are pretty sick of the system, too. One Florida superintendent even went so far as to ban homework for elementary school students, saying, "The quality of homework assigned is so poor that simply getting kids to read replacing homework with self-selected reading was a more powerful alternative."

Across the pond, journalist Jane Martin shared a letter sent home with her kid from All Saints' School in London — and it had a similar anti-homework message. In it, a teacher named Mr. Tucker gives very specific instructions for how to prepare for the SATs that she absolutely loved:

That ‘s amazing Jane. Why can’t all teachers be like that? My daughter’s head told them yesterday that if any of them were ill next week for SATS then she would personally come to their home and drag them out of bed. I mean really?

I recall with horror when my very worried niece told me that, “If we don’t do well, the school won’t get a good rating”. That she had got this impression even unwittingly via osmosis was just appalling. This is a great note.
